Multiple practices each week

Our collective teaching staff has more tournament experience than any other. We teach based on experience, not theory.

You will practice and compete constantly with your peers and with our teaching staff to drive your growth. This environment mirrors what is done at every competitive college golf program.

Mistwood Golf Dome is our winter home and Mistwood Golf Club is our spring home. This enhances the ability to improve via an experience-based environment.

All aspects of your game will be enhanced regardless of current skill level through consistent guidance along with daily mental performance training.

We play an active role in tournament scheduling along with regular college recruiting guidance for those aspiring to play college golf.

4 Steps to Success

Golf mastery requires continuous feedback and training over time, both on and off the course. To achieve this, the coaches of the Committed Athlete Program utilize the “4 Steps to Success” process to help players transfer skills from the range to the course, make correct on-course decisions, and manage their thoughts, attention, and emotions under competition.
01

Understanding
Cause and Effect

Player and coach determine which skills are costing them the most, understand what they are doing wrong, and seek to identify what needs to be fixed.

02

Supervised
Practice

Player experiences a lot of supervised practice and a lot of repetition with feedback. Player is engaged in practice with the deliberate intention of improving their skills.

03

Transfer
Training

MPC Coach assists the player in exposing golf skills to conditions that simulate those that they would experience on the golf course under competition.

04

Play

MPC Coach helps golfers better play the game using their existing skills while keeping score and getting out on the course.
